Expo Renegade Ride

April 1st was the day of the AIDS Lifecycle Expo. I had expected to ride the training ride starting from the Expo in GG park to Fairfax, but since we got word that the Bridge would be closed to cyclists in the morning, all rides got re-routed the week before and were all going south instead. I knew the day would be cloudy and foggy so I invited several newbie riders and oldbie riders to join me on a Renegade Ride (aka unofficial ride) from my house in San Anselmo to the Expo in GG park. It was gloriously sunny and warm for most of the day!!

9 people met at my house at 9 am and we rode out to the base of Camino Alto where we picked up 5 more riders and headed over to Tiburon for coffee and pastries at the Sweden House.

We ride to eat!!

After Tiburon, we headed toward the Bridge. Poor Loree had a problem with her chain dropping so badly that by the time we got across the bridge she decided she'd head over to the Sports Basement and have someone give her a ride. So she and Kimberly headed over and we proceeded to the Expo.

It was a fun day, tried to win a new bike for our friend Matt who had recently had his bike stolen- but no luck. After the raffle and visiting with our friends, we decided it was time to head back.... a good day with about 54 miles total round trip. (needless to say a very LOOONG day too!)
